Biomaterials are mostly any natural and synthetic materials which are compatible from a biological point of view with the human body. Biomaterials are widely used to sustain, increase, reestablish or substitute the biological function of any injured tissue and organ from the human body. Additionally, biomaterials are uninterruptedly in contact with the human body, i.e., tissue, blood and biological fluids. For this reason, an essential feature of biomaterials is their biocompatibility. Consequently, this review summarizes the classification of different types of biomaterials based on their origin, as natural and synthetic ones. Moreover, the advanced applications in pharmaceutical and medical domains are highlighted based on the specific mechanical and physical properties of biomaterials, concerning their use. The high-priority challenges in the field of biomaterials are also discussed, especially those regarding the transfer and implementation of valuable scientific results in medical practice.

“…14 Bio-polymer composites which are more environmentally friendly and recyclable materials offer less weight, high strength, anti-corrosion, etc. 15,16 The plant resins are such as tamarind, 17 soy protein, 18 wheat protein, 19 banana sap, 20 corn, 21 catechu, 22 karaya, 23 guar, 24 kondagogu gum, etc. 25–28 These resins have resulted in improved mechanical properties and reduced overall weight, which enhances the ease of production and decreases the cost.…”

“…Most of the biodegradable resins are observed to be non-toxic in nature and generally used in the food industry and pharmaceutics. Several researchers work done and proved that biodegradable resins such as banana sap, 20 wheat protein, 19 soya protein, 18 tamarind seed, 17 corn, 21 and gums 23–28 are suitable for structural and non-structural composites manufacturing.…”

In this research, a complete systematic technique for fabricating and characterising the various properties of Cochlospermum Gossypium (CG) and oil palm mesocarp fibre (OPMF) reinforced composites are reported. Following the hand lay-up method for manufacturing composites with varying OPMF weight percentages (5, 10, and 15), the composites were subjected to a variety of characterisation tests. To improve the interfacial bonding, capabilities of OPM fibre surfaces were treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Microstructural studies, such as scanning electron microscopy, were performed on the produced samples, followed by mechanical characteristics like tensile, flexural, and impact tests. Furthermore, the TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) test was performed as part of the thermal tests. The treated composites were found to be increased by 69.64% in tensile strength and 38.37% in flexural strength when compared with untreated composites and neat matrix in the tensile test. Thermal study revealed that 15% of fibre content outperforms the other weight fractions of the composites under investigation, as evidenced by TGA, microstructural, and mechanical testing.
